The two that have caught my eye are Primavera Sound (also in Barcelona, www.primavera-sound.com), which has a varied line-up with a good dose of electronica. Also, Nuits Sonores in Lyon, France (www.nuits-sonores.com), which looks like a great lineup (Jimi Tenor, DMX Krew, Astrobotnia-Ovuca, Add N to (X), Dave Clark, Radioactive Man etc..). And it's cheap aswell - only 45 euro for the three night pass. Hope this helps, Neil -- "And we used to sleep on the beach, they don't do it anymore. Things change."
